There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 299: Chapter 276: “You try to take down me?!

Whether it was confidence or a sheer inability to heed advice, Logitech Star had disregarded her father’s recommendation and initiated the Race Duel Battle based on his own methods.

Li Peiqi looked at her A-level Prop “Last Words” with a complex expression crossing her face.

As of last night at 00:00.

Her Prop had updated.

No longer would she die “at the hands of Chen Yi.”

But rather… “in the jaws of a certain Star Beast.”

This updated prediction left her somewhat at a loss. Did this mean she wouldn’t encounter Chen Yi in her future anymore?

Or did it mean… Chen Yi wouldn’t survive today?

“Huff!”

Li Peiqi let out a sigh. For a moment, she didn’t know quite how to feel—somewhat relieved yet also concerned. The Sword of Damocles that had hung over her head had finally vanished. She should be feeling relieved.

But for some reason,

The thought of Chen Yi dying made her feel strangely conflicted inside.

How could he just die like that?

But the A-level Prop “Last Words” never erred.

Perhaps Chen Yi was really just a memory, soon to be forgotten by all players, until many years later.

No need even for many years.

A few months would suffice.

In the upgradable game, with its ever-fresh happenings, no one would continuously remember the name of a dead man, no matter how powerful he had been in life.

…@@novelbin@@

At this moment, the countdown had reached “08:53.”

In another eight minutes, the protective barrier would vanish and the battle would truly begin.

“Boss!”

Standing behind Li Yide, a subordinate with shaky legs and a tearful voice spoke up, “Do we really have to stand at the very front? Can’t we move a bit to the back?”

“I’m a bit scared.”

“Scared?”

Li Yide tightened the bomb strapped to his body and took firm steps toward the protective barrier; when his face pressed against it, he was ready to initiate a suicidal charge as soon as the barrier dispersed.

Staring intently at the Sharu Clan players on the other side of the barrier, he whispered.

“Our only chance to live is to charge fast enough.”

“Dying now means plunging into hell. If Chen Yi kills all those bastards on the other side, Blue Star won’t face extinction. If we’re not extinguished, we have a chance to crawl out of hell.”

“But if Chen Yi doesn’t kill faster than the other side, and Blue Star is extinguished, then we’re truly dead.”

“Do you get it?”

“This battle is basically a race between Chen Yi and the enemy to see who kills faster. If 95% of a Race’s players are killed in one go, that Race will be forced into extinction.”

“What we have to do is to kill one more enemy with our lives before 95% of the Blue Star players are dead, to help Chen Yi.””

“By killing one more enemy,”

“We reduce the chances of Blue Star’s extinction a bit more.”

“And we also increase our own chances of survival a bit more.”

“Fear at this time is not cowardice but folly.”

“Understand?”

After a long silence, the subordinate following Li Yide finally pulled out his Prop, pressing his cheek against the barrier while fiercely staring at the Sharu Clan players opposite them.

“I understand, boss. Today, I’ll be a hero too.”

…

“I’m going!”

Han Yu let go of his mother’s hand and exchanged a glance with his father; both firmly holding their weapons, they fixed their gaze on the Sharu Clan players across the barrier, ready to strike the moment it fell.

…

“Let’s go.”

The young couple, who had confirmed their relationship in the park the night before, looked at each other and took their stand hand in hand in front of the barrier, at the very forefront.

This spot, once the war began, was usually the first to fall.

One by one, more and more players stepped out of the crowd and took their places at the forefront.

Emotions are contagious.

Players who had initially felt some fear were now clenching their teeth, eyes filled with rage and ferocity, glaring at the Sharu Clan players across from them.

…

“These Blue Star players seem to have a good spirit, not showing much fear even in the face of a race extinction battle.”

“After all, they’re from the Novice Planet that went through ‘Calm and Cool’s’ monthly rule. Players who’ve survived that during their Novice Period tend to be mentally strong.”

The live streaming room was bustling with discussions.

“It’s just a pity that Blue Star is still in the Novice Period; even with Chen Yi’s strength, it’s useless. As soon as 95% of the players are killed, Blue Star will be forced into extinction, and Chen Yi will be forcibly erased.”

“What’s the use of being strong then?”

“If Blue Star could just have a little development time, then the outcome of this war would be completely uncertain.”

“You’re saying ‘if.’ There are too many ifs.”

“It’s a pity.”

“What’s there to pity? Better dead. Otherwise, once Blue Star successfully makes it past the Novice Period and into the third Star System, aren’t we the ones who would suffer?”

“That’s true too.”

…

“What are those ants doing? Do they think that dying at the front will be less painful?”

On the opposite side of the barrier,

Mr. Qiang stood with his hands in his pockets, a derisive sneer at the corner of his mouth, shoulder shrugging, not taking this group of Blue Star players seriously at all.

Though their numbers were indeed substantial.

But if the number of players determined the strength of a Race, then the Insect Race would have become Invincible Under the Heavens!

At this moment,

a hoarse voice suddenly reached his ear.

“Less than six minutes to go until the barrier drops, activate Apocalypse, prepare to Charge,”

The moment this voice faded,
